  • An orange kitty can have ketamine or an iphone, but never both.

  • When Woke 2 comes, we'll nationalize SpaceX.

  • Re datacenters in space:

    Multiple hackernews insist that SpaceX must have discovered new physics that solves orbital heat management, because otherwise Musk and the stockholders are dumb.

    Current top comment is nice (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46862435):

    it is possible to put 500 to 1000 TW/year of AI satellites into deep space, meaningfully ascend the Kardashev scale and harness a non-trivial percentage of the Sun’s power

    We currently make around 1 TW of photovoltaic cells per year, globally. The proposal here is to launch that much to space every 9 hours, complete with attached computers, continuously, from the moon.

    edit: Also, this would capture a very trivial percentage of the Sun's power. A few trillionths per year.
